A spacious garden duplex in one of Boerum Hill's rare, 25-foot-wide residences This brick and brownstone home occupies a quiet, tree-lined, historic block, between Smith and Hoyt. The duplex boasts a Midcentury Modern conversion in an antebellum or 1847 Neo-Greek building--the best of two eras. The two-story glass extension looks out onto a fully planted, SO-foot-deep garden, designed with sunny and shady areas for entertaining or lazing-a peak of urban living, Charles and Ray Eames style.The private entrance is through a front-yard garden. The entry opens to an ample windowed kitchen with a large island and good storage. The dining area is separated from the living space by a curving partition that reaches to the second floor, allowing natural light. Both areas have ornamental not functioning fireplaces in white-painted brick walls, and the south-facing garden can be seen through the extension's expansive glass. A half-bath and utility room with sink serve this floor, and their doors match the one to cellar (with its washer-drier and storage), composing a continuous white wall.On the second floor, the two large bedrooms offer closets galore-floor-to-ceiling ones that define virtually the whole western wall. The master bedroom's curving "light well" railed with glass connects it with the dining area below, while the north-facing second bedroom, with its original interior shutters, can be an office, guest room or bedroom. Both have separate entrances to the bathroom, which has a striking vista over both the garden and the light-filled extension.Nine subway lines are a 3 to 5 minute walk away, and on Fulton Street, the newly reopened Gage & Tolner restaurant and Macy's Brooklyn flagship store suggest the dining and shopping possibilities within two blocks of State Street. Atlantic Avenue groceries range from Sahadi's to Trader Joe's, and new and revived restaurants continue to open.Sorry, no pets allowed.Available August 4. First showings are July 15-16.
